The intrigue peaked when Gesaffelstein grabbed his first Grammy for Best Remixed Recording (Non-Classical). He won for his remix of Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra, accepting it without a word. This mix highlights his dark, industrial electronic sound. He also played a big role in Gaga’s 2025 album Mayhem, co-writing tracks, producing, and featuring on Killah. 

Gesaffelstein, from France, has shaped electronic music since 2008. He started his own label and is known for moody, movie-like beats. Stars like Kanye West, The Weeknd, and Daft Punk have worked with him, but he always keeps a mysterious vibe. His Grammy win and masked entrance cement him as a standout at the 2026 Grammys.
